Target Connector Properties

Most of the delivered target connectors have required and optional configuration properties that you set to control the connectors' behavior. Depending on the connector, you configure some of these properties in the integrationGateway.properties file or by using the Gateways component. You can specify values for connector properties in the following ways:

• Gateway-level target connector properties always have the same value for a given connector, regardless of which nodes or transactions use the connector.

  You specify the values of these properties in the integrationGateway.properties file.

• Node-level target connector properties can have different values for each default local node that uses a given gateway.

  Each node-level connector property is identified by a property ID and a property name. You specify default values for these properties in the Gateways component of each participating node.

  See Administering Integration Gateways.

When you create a node definition in the local database, you specify which gateway and target connector should be used to send messages to that node. In the node definition, you can supply values for the connector's node-level properties that override the defaults and apply only when sending messages to that node.

See Specifying Gateways and Connectors.

When you define a routing definition, you can supply values for the connector's node-level properties to override the node definition's values and apply only when sending messages with that transaction.

See Integration Broker: Defining and Overriding Gateway and Connector Properties.

You can set and override target connector properties at runtime using PeopleCode.
